ing the effect Of tree planting upon the
billiards. The blizzard drives along the
surface OF the ground, and il has for ages
upon ages found no tree to halt or yeer it.
The settlers on the plains planted trees,
however, and these trees now stand as OBJ
stacles to the full sweep of the ice laden
wind. A few days ago, as a blizzard
swept over the country, passed through
a loosely planted grove of trees. cotton
woods, silver naples, green ashes, etc.,
and noted with pleasure that among the
trees the violence Of the wind was greatly
reduced, and the flakes of snow dropped
lazily TO the ground, where they rested as
contcntedly as II they had fallen upon the
tree covered hills Of New England.
As soon as | passed out of the grove !

ing horizontally in their mad career over

little grove Of trees found that left the

Evolution Of Writing PAPER.

Paper has changed in form considerably
during this century. Fifty years ago
paper in shape like our foolscap was gem
orally used for correspondence. Il was
folded according TO the skill Of the writer
and sealed with sealing wax. Then came
the letter size; then commercial note. In
America sealing wax has gone out Of date.
Not so in Europe. Nothing ever goes cut
Of date in Europe, II the efforts Of artisans
or others interested in its sale can accom-
plish that result So called seals are seen
in rings and attached 10 the watch chains
OF American gentlemen, but they simply
suggest disused function, like the rudi.
mentary fins Of some kinds Of fish. In

convenient, MS by the ordinary arrange

apply colors OF certain manufacture to

was formally declared by the Germans,
and they are prosecuting it with vigor-
against rocks and mountains, forests and
the vfning grass of the interior jungles,
rather than against the king who has so
far chiefly resisted by maintaining dis
tance. But as the enemy close In on him
his chiefs are beginning to fight. Mean
while the Germans have officially recog-
nized Tamasesee, the rebel chief, who is
installed in the government house as king,
but is practically a mere tool of
the invaders. The American consul
general and British consul protested,
of course, but were told that war was
now in progress and civil measures must
wait. The latter two positively refuse to
recognize Tamasesee and have issued
protesting proclamation. For many days
both foreigners and natives in Apia we're
in great terror, as the rebel troops held
the town at their mercy; but when the
monthly steamer left no one had been in
tured. Meanwhile the Germans have
burned one considerable coast town, cap
tured bush village in the interior and
killed perhaps dozen natives. Such is
the peculiar condition Mr.. Bayard's peace
commissioner finds in Samoa, and so the
matter may become one of grave inter-
national complications.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.
Timely Hints in Regard to the Lates

Timely Hints in Regard to the Latest
New York Custom at Weddings.
The season of fall weddings makes timely
few points in regard to the latest customs
connected with these events
The "Gest man" or attendant of the bride
groom at a wedding is usually his brother or
intimate friend IL it be church wedding
after the English fashion, he accompanies the
groom as he comes from the vestry AMI
stands at his right at the altar. Ii it be a
house wedding he enters the room with the
groom and remains at his right during the
ceremony. A "maid of honor" corresponds
to q "best man" She precedes the bride and
walks alone following the other bridesmaids.
Instead of selecting retinue of young gen.
tlemen equal in number to the maids who at
tend the bride, the bridegroom of today gem
orally adopts the convenient English custom
of choosing the one friend known as 'best
man" to attend him through the ceremony
and also to arrange various little business and
social formalities connected with the event
for him. FTP
Ushers are selected by the bride and one of
them is appointed master of ceremonies The
ushers seat guests as they arrive, offering the
right arm to q lady and conducting her to q
seat. Usually they walk III pairs in front of
the bride and her attendants in the process
sion to the altar and arrange themselves at
the right of the waiting groom and best man.

land question as on other political inter-
ests. One of his pieces, "God Save Ire
land, !" has become national hymn like
''Hail Columbia" is among us. He has
also published short and spicy work
entitled the Irish History of England,n
and many other prose sketches; but the
fact that just now brings him prominently
before the public is his recent arrest and
trial ON the charge of having published in
The Nation notices of the tsproclaimed''-
that is, orbidden-meetings of the land
league. He had lately been elected mayor
of Dublin, and when arrested came into
court in his official robes, just as he had
left the mayors seat. The charge was
the usual one of melting opposition to the
law and publications tending to create re-
bellion.
The trial excited much interest, and Mr..
Sullivan was acquitted. The older
brother, A. M. Sullivan, was also arrested
while editing The Nation many years ago,
but was not SO fortunate, as he was SEN
fenced to six months Imprisonment.
Such are the dramatic episodes and pain
full incidents of Irish politics. The older
brother has lost much of his popularity
by his life as barrister in the British
courts, but Of all the Irish leaders only
the devoted and devotedly loved John Dill
Ion has a warmer place in the hearts of
the people than Sullivan the poet"
